The article supplies three further examples of BTD renderings of the original text of the Gospel of Luke (chapters 13–24). In the first section attention is devoted to the meaning of the key term in the Parable of the Prodigal Son — ἀσώτως. Interpreting this term BTD relies on etymology and finds an adequate German equivalent with similar etymology. In the second section the meaning of the Hebraistic phrase εἰς τὴν γενεὰν τὴν ἑαυτῶν is explained and issues of text-criticism are discussed. The plausible conclusion is that the Byzantine reading ἐκλίπητε (instead of the NANTG reading ἐκλίπῃ) in Luke 16:9 is original on the basis of its close parallelism with verse 4. In the third section the much discussed saying of Jesus about the kingdom of God being within (or among) us is analised. The traditional Orthodox interpretation of the phrase ἐντὸς ὑμῶν is confirmed by the immediate context and theological considerations.
